Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes went 3-for-4 with two round-trippers and four RBI in the opening game of a doubleheader on Thursday afternoon. This was another stellar outing for the budding superstar, as he is currently carrying an excellent .413/.500/.698 line with five home runs and three stolen bases since the start of the month. Montes was promoted to High-A at the beginning of July and has held a steady .268/.369/.415 slash line through his first 43 games. His recent surge suggests that he may continue to turn the corner and progress further. Earlier this summer at Single-A Modesto, the 19-year-old posted a .309/.411/.527 line with 13 home runs across 65 games. Montes remains one of the top prospects in the sport and should remain stashed in all dynasty and keeper formats, even though he is still several seasons away from his major league debut.
Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes is swinging a hot bat in August for High-A Everett and was just named Northwest League Hitter of the Week after hitting .526 with a 1.562 OPS last week with seven RBI. In 15 games in August, Montes is hitting .400/.493/.618 with three homers and 11 RBI. The Mariners' No. 3 prospect is dialing up his game this month as he continues to adjust to High-A as a 19-year-old.

But that is still a ways away.

Montes cracked MLB.com's Top 100 list back in May, debuting at No. 85, but has worked his way up the list throughout the season and now ranks at No. 48 as of the latest refresh.
